Perry Delisted.

[Lidge]

And finally, If Richmond are so keen on him then I suspect that says everything, because Richmond are ********, have always been ******** and will continue to be ********.

The rest of your post sucked like a bad porno, but this last paragraph is 100% on the money.

 

[Cororoo]

How many games has Hamish played in his four seasons?

.

More than you have most likely.

 

[year of the roo]

I wonder if the response would've been more subdued if half the board wasn't sponsoring him.

No idea, ask Flag Man. Oh wait, he sponsored him too.

Oops.

Eh?

The point was to compare the two.

I rate Hamish.

perry delisted means we might get hansen ? i wouldn't mind a CHAD CORNES in our team =D

 

[Shinboners]

As I said in another thread can't help thinking there is more to the Perry delisting than we know yet. I smell a story but can't seem to get it. Just doesn't add up.

I'll play the devils advocate here. How will people feel if he stays out of the ND, and simply nominates for the PSD and goes to Richmond? If that happens, then there's the bit of the story that hasn't added up yet.

But if he goes into the ND, then the mystery continues.

"Hi Joel it's Greg. Look we've just heard that you've been delisted. I'll come over witha two year deal tomorrow for you to look at. If it's good enough, all you need to do is stay out of the national draft and we'll grab you in the PSD."

I admire your loyalty to Perry, but if Miller was that impressed with Perry, then he would have put the deal to him before delisting, not after.

From the viewpoint of Perry and his management, they would know what had happened to Mick Stevens last year, and that if he was looking to hold onto his AFL career, than a one year deal on the table is better than no definite offer of a contract from another club.

Like Mick Stevens last year, maybe it's just an issue that Perry and his manager miscalculated what North (rightly or wrongly) were willing to do, and it might cost Perry his AFL career.

 

[RoyalBlue]

I agree that maybe taking a one year deal would have kept perry at North.

I also think that Perry was worth a two year deal.

Brown is right now aparently, after what would have to have been his worst year.

Sansbury was in 2005.

You know NOTHING.

And you obviously have forgotten Hamish had a horrific ankle injury that cost him a lot of games

well said, we tend to latch onto certain players very quickly on this bpard. i myself tend to like to see if the people can actually play football, not just a few good games in a preseason and then injury.??

 

[The Other Dean]

Just took a few minutes out of my holiday to drop into one of those Internet cafe thingies to catch up with the news. And the news appears to be bad. I can fathom why Perry wasn't worth a 2 year deal. He was "in development", and for mine, that development seemed to be travelling ok. But I guess the fact that he couldn't pull a game at the end of last season, at a time when we were naming a not-ready Riggio and offering games to guys like Moran, speaks volumes.

Call me paranoid or overly suspicious but there seems to be more to this than meets the eye - other than the obvious scenario of Perry saying "I want a 2 year deal", and the club saying "no". Either way, seems like a kind of lame delisting.

 

[Gumbyroo]

Sorry for disrupting the flow on this board, but I don't really mind the Perry delisting. Sure, he may not have been one I would have picked (Sansbury comes to mind there) but I am not sure that we've lost a Glendinning type player as many on this board would suggest.

Just looking at a couple of things to put it all in pertspective - Perry has been in the system as long as Wells and McIntosh. Yes, he gave them a head start age-wise, but has been an AFL listed player just as long. During that time he has played mostly average games at VFL level, with those games that weren't average being poor more often than they were good. I certainly don't know of too many games at VFL level where he has dominated - at least to an extent a player as highly rated as he is on here, should have. In his AFL performances he has been able to hold his opponents on most occasions but really, at leats to me, hasn't shown anything to suggest that he would be our CHB/FB for the next 10 years.

I could concede that he might have become a serviceable third tall defender, but really these sorts of players aren't too hard to come across (and certainly don't dsemand a premium on your list). He came out of contract at a bad time, just as Makepeace and Schwarze did (and Sansbury was incredibly lucky he was saved by a contract). From some accounts he tried to play for an extra year or two on his contract renewal and North said no thanks - that's the way of the footy world these days.

As for the talk that clubs offered trades for him, I find it hard to believe there was anything genuine on the table. Richmond may well have been interested however that would have dissapated when they secured Polak.

I think the key frustration for me is that Brown had a crap year and reportedly got a 2 year extension. Perry showed a bit of promise, but only got one. I would think that if Brown was offered one year, I don't think as many of us would have been that bothered with Perry being offered one year as well.

Do you know this as a fact? This is news to me re Brown's two year extension, but before criticising the club I'd like to be sure it's true.

I'm pretty sure it was reported that he got a 2 year extension.

Oh, come on. Since when did we ever let verifying the facts ever get in the way of us criticising the club?

Drew Petrie, Daniel Pratt, Jess Sinclair, Corey Jones and Leigh Brown have all agreed to two-year deals that will keep them at Arden St until the end of 2008.

Yes, that looks bad. It is the same logic that gave Sansbury a 2 year extension last year by the look of it.

I know Brown has the experience to be given another chance after a **********house year, but to give him two has no logical merrit.

Well I suppose its best to sign him now. We don't want other clubs to snap him up...

I would think that if Brown was offered one year, I don't think as many of us would have been that bothered with Perry being offered one year as well.

The benefit of the two years for Brown IMO, is that even if he has another crap year I suspect he'll still have trade value. So we give him the chance to get his career back on track, with the fallback of getting something in return if it doesn't work out.

If Perry has a crap year and we look to move him on I think we'd find it difficult, and might be stuck with him on the list for the second year, or having to pay out the second year of his contract.

 

[Z_K]

Moomba, if Brown has a 2007 like his 2006, he will be playing for $200 a week and a job pouring beers in a country pub. No-one would go near him. He wasn't just bad. He was a liability, he was soft and he didn't try.

If he got another two years, we're taking the piss.

I can't speak for his performances last season (I saw him a few times on the TV and he looked OK, nothing more) but your typical comment from outside the club seemed to indicate that he is still highly rated in the football world. Now you and I both know that the opinion of most of the media pundits counts for very little, but I reckon there would still be plenty of interest in a 23-24 year old KPP (type) with around 100 games of experience, almost regardless of his performances. You will always find a coach willing to back his own ability to get the best out of a player like that.

Almost like left handed pitchers in baseball, it doesn't matter how bad they are, they always get another gig, just because they are a left handed pitcher.

Highly rated.

Please.

 

[scottywiper]

Please indeed.
The Dockers weren't concerned about losing him and have since conceded he should never have been picked so high in the draft.
